Fantastically Realistic Illustrations of Disney Princesses, Part Deux

I first blogged about Finnish artist Jirka Väätäinen‘s Real Life Disney Girls series back in 2011, and it remains a popular post! It seems that he has continued with the project with additional Disney characters — how can I not share?

If you want to hire Dubost, just add him to your shopping cart. But hurry — there's only one...
